I don't have this graphics card. I do have two 970s which are beasts in their own right.

I've learnt from my friends here that sometimes not all the latest stuff is necessarily the best to get, at least not till it's been out a while and tested/reviewed. Although that doesn't stop you wanting it :p

I was soo hyped for the 1080 and the 1070 since nvidia said after the founders edition we would be looking at cards costing £450ish. Well that didnt happen at all, so for now I dont think they are worth the amount being asked for them. Grab a 980ti instead, ~£200 cheaper or an AMD card.

I see your point behind cost but I have 2 AMDs but they're giving me jip performance wise.

The other reason why I was thinking the 1080 (more the asus model which is more powerful) is due to the enhanced AR capabilities and the additional features.

But what I have heard that DirectX 12 is going to allow dual card rendering so you have have an AMD and an nVidia card side by side which ultimately would mean the features and high-end abilities of nVidia combined with the raw power of an AMD card so might get a 1080 as well for those benefits.

I wanted to protect everything. But I failed, and that's the sin I bare. So this time, I can't fail to protect them!
